Is it a track pack? Brembo brakes?
They are great cars. I miss my 2014.

The factory performance pack wheels are like 30lbs and the finish on them was shot from brake dust etc. That meant new wheels and tires, of course. Aodhan AFF7 as they were only 20-21lbs for a 19x9.5"
Needed a smaller spacer in the front to clear the Brembos which I scuffed the **** out of
Found some 275/40-19 Bridgestone Potenzas on Tire Rack for clearance pricing but I'll probably end up getting some drag radials.

Performance Pack I believe is what it was called in 2011. Brembos, 3.73's, and MT-82
The louvers had to go! If anyone wants a set of blaze yellow ones...
Also, previous owner had a muffler delete on it (SLP Loudmouths) so I put these imitation Flowmasters on. Sounds okay, a little tinny. I'll probably replace those at some point with another muffler that's the same dimensions. Dynomax ultraflo maybe.

No sir. Track pack is the correct name, not to be confused with the "Brembo brake" package.
Track pack cars were 3.73's, torsen helical LSD, larger sway bars front and rear, larger oil cooler and radiator, the Brembo brakes and different struts and springs.
Looks like a blast... enjoy it.
BMR upper control arm and mount
Easy 45 minute install, didn't have to drop the tank like I heard some people say. My Ryobi 1/2" impact couldn't remove the underseat bolt so I might think about replacing it with a stronger one. Had to use a breaker bar, sucker was on there tight.

Mods will make that a blast to drive, and imho, better looking. Great looking GT Sir!
I like the wheel choice. Looks great and you saved some weight. I predict a lot of fun summer cruising this year. Congrats!
Well, a single Bilstein shock showed up from FedEx today.
Not sure what I can do with that. Ordered from Mumerican Uscle, they ****ed my order up AGAIN. It's still sitting on the dock according to tracking. One came from one warehouse and the other was supposed to come from another warehouse.
Contacted them and they said they're filing a missing package report for me and if they can't find it in 3 days they will put a replacement order in for me. I don't really care because the weather still sucks and I'm not going to drive the car anytime soon. I also got a $10 credit but I don't know what I would buy with it and who knows if I would ever get it anyway...

Yeah they suck bro, I always try to go LMR
That's usually who I use too, should have just had them price match!
S197 best looking Mustang ever..... Next to Elanor of course. I mean take a look at that and compare it to the S650. One has character and lines.... One doesnt!
Not to mention the S197 weighs almost 200 lbs less!
